the main story arc here was fun (I love KSD but I'm still not super invested in Aquaman?) but I'm OBSESSED with the one-shot at the end where a new villain pops up and introduces himself as SEA DADDY and everyone is like "absolutely we're not calling you that" and Arthur is like "You should call yourself Long John Silver instead" and then Sea Daddy wrecks the Founders Day festival but then they have a lovely Founders Day anyway!! That's my jam!!!

I wasn't sure about this run but I am now invested especially with pregnant queen Mera. How often do we see a super hero who is pregnant and yet being a leader for her people?
I liked how she is drawn with her pregnancy in the open. I can't imagine how tough it is to be a mother and yet carry a child.
It was sweet to finally see Arthur and her reunited.
I did like the story for this volume but the return of Black Manta, his motivations was old. The backstory with his father was interesting though.
The quest for revenge never ends with Black Manta and he is back to wreck havoc. Honestly, this gets tiring but oh well, we need a villain.
It's a girl!
Arthur and Mera's child is female and will be the next queen of Atlantis.

The wrap up volumes always have an interesting pacing in that you’re dropped straight into the action. Which I’m sure is a different experience if I were reading them as single issues as they came out. Writing is excellent as per usual.

This volume in the new Aquaman series is solid but choppy. The book is divided int three chunks that loosely relate to each other. The first part depicts a invasion of Amnesty Bay by the Black Manta and his new killer robot which is controlled by an AI based on the mind of his dead father. Followed by that are two stories about Arthur and Mera's rocky and chaotic path to parenthood. Finally there is a story that features the sea gods introduced in the first volume and Salty the dog.
All of these stories are fairly well done, although the first story arc is a bit to hokey for me to be entirely comfortable with it. However they do not really flow together and this volume feels more like a compilation of short stories than an actual novel.
The character development in this volume is uneven. Arthur, the sea gods and most of the inhabitants of Amnesty Bay are fairly two dimensional. Mera, however, really comes across as a fully developed character who is both driven and compassionate. Salty the dog is also developed as a more nuanced character, which is fun and refreshing.

Four stars for everything but the Higgins story. That issue didn't do it for me.
